Mini teardown.[/summary] teardown, torn down on Halloween 2012.[/summary]
''Trick-or-Treat!'' While making our yearly October 31st rounds, we came across something interesting: a brand new iPad Mini! All hopped up on sugar, we eagerly tore into Apple's first small tablet. Smaller than an iPad, larger than an iPod, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound: we'd heard mighty claims about the Mini. It was finally time to crack it open and take a look for ourselves.
This iPad was delivered a bit early a ways up the road from us in Berkeley. We'd like to thank [http://www.ifixit.com/blog/2009/12/04/we-stand-on-the-shoulders-of-giants/|friend-of-iFixit], the ever perspicacious [http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/|Jeff Atwood], for helping us get our hands on it. Jeff started [http://stackoverflow.com/|Stack Overflow], which runs a pretty neat Q&A community for [http://apple.stackexchange.com/|Apple software].

It's time to speak out for your right to repair

Dear Minnesotans,

Right now, Minnesota has a chance to pass the first Fair Repair bill in the nation.
We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronics—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment.
We have a chance to help the environment and stand up for local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.

We've been working with local repair companies, non-profit refurbishers, and tech-savvy politicians to come up with a solution. And they've done just that — Minnesota is the first state to consider a Fair Repair Bill.

If you agree with us, find out who represents you in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Tell them you support the bipartisan Fair Repair Bill, HF 1048. Tell them that you believe repair
should be fair, affordable, and accessible.
